Hello.
There is Asus Zenbook UX32VD.
1. Created a Recovery image (built-in utility Create Recovery Drive);
2. Removed the old HDD;
3. Installed SSD (Crucial M4 256Gb);
4. Trying to install Windows 8, Restore from Image.
I get an error - The system cannot find specified file.
Tried:
1. Created and formatted (Primary NTFS) a screw using GParted (from Linux Mint);
2.chkdsk;
3. diskpart shows that there are 2 disks (SSD + mSATA), both online.
Tell me how to install Windows 8.

The Asus Zenbook UX32VD usually has a 24/32Gb iSSD that runs in expresscache mode.
Perhaps when installing Win8, the boot sector is written to your new SSD, but is read by the system from the old iSSD.
I had a similar problem with Samsung Series 5. Look at which partitions are created when installing WIn8 and on which HD
It also played long and tedious. Nothing worked. I connected the old (original) disk via USB through a converter. I launched a Windows 8 recovery disk from a CD - a standard Windows 8 Recovery disk - 64 bit. He found the recovery partition on the original HDD and installed everything on the SSD. From the partition recovery on the SSD had to be abandoned.
I have the same essence, but the effect is different. Notebook Acer Aspire V5-571G. Native hard died. I found an image in the Recovery network. With grief, I drove it to a flash drive with the help of Acronis. Did a full reset to factory settings. And as a result I got "Operating system not found". Again, through the mini OS from Acronis, I rummaged and made sure that the system is on the disk in all its glory. How can I make it run from it? Boot priority set as expected.
